**Wedding photos**

# How to Share Photos Without Losing Quality

Keep a full-quality copy when sharing photos with family and friends.

[**Create your event**](https://ownpix.app/#pricing)

Guests can share from their browser, with no app to download.

Keep the originals

- Keep the original
- Choose how to send
- Test a photo
- Save a backup

## The short answer

Share the original file using a service that preserves it, then check the received copy. Keep your own backup before deleting the photo from your device.

## A simple plan

### **Keep the original**

Do not delete the source file before checking the copy.

### **Choose how to send**

Check the quality and size settings of your service.

### **Test a photo**

Download it on another device and inspect it.

### **Save a backup**

Keep another copy somewhere you control.

## Choose how to share

| **Method** | **What to check** |
| --- | --- |
| Event album | Upload size limits and whether a download keeps the original |
| Shared cloud folder | Who can open and download the file |
| Photo library | Sharing settings and the recipient’s access |
| Messaging app | Whether the app reduces image size or offers another way to send files |

OwnPix accepts photos up to 30 MB each. After downloading, compare the image dimensions and file with the original when quality matters, particularly for large prints.

## Test before sending the full collection

Pick one detailed photo and download it on another device. Check its dimensions and open it at full size. If the received file is smaller or looks different, review the sharing settings before sending the rest.

Keep your source files until you know the recipient can open the copies. For a wedding, check your photographer’s agreement before editing or sharing their images.

## How OwnPix helps

OwnPix collects guest photos in one event album. Hosts can download the collection before the plan’s storage period ends.
